What if getting everything you want in your career didn’t require sacrificing everything you love about your life? In this episode, I sit down with my client Rowsha LaBranche-Thompson, a corporate development executive, wife, and mom of two, who found herself on the path to partnership while working 70+ hour weeks and realizing she had nothing left to give.
Rowsha shares what happened when she stopped following the career path she thought she should want and started asking what she actually wanted instead. We talk about building a career around your real priorities, making extraordinary money without accepting miserable conditions, letting go of the pressure to do everything yourself, and creating a life where your ambition, family, health, and happiness no longer have to compete. If you’ve ever wondered whether wanting more success and more life is asking for too much, this conversation is for you.
